Premužić’s trail
Premužić’s trail is one of Croatia’s most beautiful trails extending from Zavižan to Baške Oštarije. It is 57 km long, running through the most wonderful and the most inaccessible parts of Velebit with no big ascents and descents.
Usually, people are taking 3 days for the whole route but if you are short in time, we suggest taking a one day hike from Zavižan mountain hut to Rossi’s shelter. Be prepared to take a real adventure with amazing sea perspectives, islands, and experience surprising beauties of Croatian nature!
Make sure to book the van/taxi which can drop you off from the ending to the starting point!
Either you start with Zavižan or Baške Oštarije, both places have parking spaces to leave the campervan.
